A sculpted serif with sharp, triangular/bracketed serifs and strongly thinned hairlines set against weighty stems. Curves are generously rounded and slightly swollen, giving bowls a soft, carved feel, while joins and terminals often resolve into teardrop or ball-like shapes. Proportions lean wide in the round letters, and the rhythm alternates between thick verticals and razor-thin internal strokes for a crisp, high-definition texture in display sizes. Numerals and capitals share the same chiseled contrast and pointed finishing, producing a cohesive, emphatic silhouette across the set.
Best suited for headlines, pull quotes, mastheads, and cover typography where its contrast and sculpted detailing can be appreciated. It can also work for short editorial passages or introductions when given comfortable tracking and leading, but it will be most effective where bold, refined impact is desired.
The overall tone is elegant and theatrical—classic in structure but styled with enough sharpness and curvature to feel fashion-forward. It projects confidence and polish, with a dramatic sparkle from its thin strokes and crisp serifs that reads as premium and editorial.
The design appears intended to modernize a traditional serif model by amplifying contrast and sharpening the serif geometry, creating a luxurious, attention-grabbing display voice while retaining familiar letterforms. Its detailing suggests a focus on high-end publishing and brand-forward typography rather than utilitarian body text.
At larger sizes the fine hairlines and narrow joins add a distinctive shimmer, while dense settings can create dark, inky blocks with strong vertical emphasis. The lowercase shows pronounced, decorative terminals that add personality and a slightly baroque flavor compared with more restrained text serifs.
